A Humorous Methodist Clergyman.

Rev. DR.. NJ. S. Terry, for many
wears a favorite pastor in the New
York NJ. E. Conference, but now Pro-
fessor of Hebrew Theology in the
Wesleyan University at Evanston,
ILL.,, will attend the meeting of that
Conference in April, and then make a
trip to Berlin, where he will dig up a
few Greek roots and take look at
some ancient Hebrew manuscripts.
DIR. Terry has much dignity of man.
ner in the pulpit, and treats serious
matters in serious way, but he dear
ly loves a good joke, and as dearly
loves to tell a good story. Presiding
Elders are very careful not to indulge
in untimely mirth. When they see
ANYTHING funny they store up the
laughs they would have laughed, and
and when good joke comes along in
a good place these old laughs come
popping up like minute guns. Terry
likes to lasso drove of these Presid-
ing Elders and touch them off. His
last story is this:
A brother of the Indiana Confer
ence, very estimable man and able
preacher, has an incurable habit of al
ways annexing the pronoun she" to
the name of any person to whom he is
alluding. This habit even follows
him into the pulpit, sometimes with
ludicrous results. This was particu-
larly the case recently, when, before a
large congregation, he arose and an
nounced his text:
"The devil he goeth about like a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour."
Looking impressively, over his gold
bowed spectacles, he began:
Brethren and sisters, my subject
naturally divides itself into three
heads: First. Who the devil he ?'
The congregation was slightly start
led, but preserved due decorum.
'Secondly, my brethren, where the
devil he is going?"
An old class leader put his head
down, and stuffed bandanna in his
mouth. The choir shook, and little
girl in the gallery Uttered.
"Thirdly, my brethren, what the
devil he is about?"
This was too much for the congrega-
ton, and for once there was peal of
laughter in that church.
The Quarterly Conference discussed
the matter at its next meeting, but the
pastor still sprinkles his pronouns pro-

LIvINGsToNE's REPLY.-When DIR.
Livingstone visited England after his
great exploring tour, he was much
praised for his sacrifices. 1t was true
he had labored much, but what did he
reply to this praise? "People talk of
the sacrifices I made in spending so
large a portion of my life in Africa.
Can you call that a sacrifice which is
only a small payment on that great
debt to God which can never be fully
discharged? Say, rather, that it is a
privilege. I have never made sacri-
fice."-.Spirit Of Missions.

The Better Will.

To have each day the thing wish,
Lord, that seems best to me;
But not to have the thing wish,
Lord, that seems best to thee.
IT'S hard to say without sigh,
Lord, let thy will be done;
IT'S hard to say my will is thine.
And thine is mine alone.
Most truly, then, thy will is done
When mine, o Lord. is crossed;
'Tis good TO see my plans o'erthrown,
My ways in thine all lost.
Whate'er thy purpose be, o Lord,
In things or great or small,
Let each minutest part be done,
That thou mayest still be all.
In all the little things Of life,
Thyself, Lord, may see;
In little and in great alike.
Reveal thy love to me.
SO shall my undivided life
To thee, my God, be given;
And all this earthly course below
Be one dear path to heaven.

b done by ouc sisters and our COUSINS ana

they do this is that they are not satisfied
With their faces. This one has depres-

babyhood. The other one is working her
lower law in order to develop the lower
mart of her face. which she thinks is not
round and curving enough; or, if she is
married, she wants her face To look as
well as the plumpest among her lady
friends. There is little book in current
use which gives the ladies the necessary
instructions for poking this part of the
face and working the other, and it is this
little book that is giving our women this
novel employment.
This manual for encouraging the vanity
of women also gives instruction in the art
of developing the arms and necks and
busts Of the sex, but what it proposes for
them to do is only, after all, what they
are doing and have been doing always for
their own improvement. A man exer-
cises for his health-a woman for her
looks. The growth of fashionable life,
with the attendant increase of the use Of
low neck dresses, has set many and many
hundreds of women who want 10 shine in
society TO racking their brains and busy
ing themselves toward improving their
appearance. Many women who want TO
wear low ball and dinner dresses find
they have bothersome bones in their
necks. which are quite useful in their
way, but have no right 10 expose them
selves Just where fair, smooth surface
Is desired. To sink these out Of sight
amid the fullness of fashionable neck or
chest is what is giving many pugilist
and fencing master and gymnasium
manager wealth and business just now.
The women ar, doing much, perhaps,
to make themselves healthy and pretty
than they ever did or had a chance to do
in modern times before. Horseback rid
ing, rowing, swimming, walking, exercis-
ing in gymnasiums, sparring, playing
games that strengthen muscles and de-
velop forms, aud studying hygiene-with

the young women are undergoing a revo-

Even in this business like age. every
thing is done by system, and not even the
smallest inquiry by mail is supposed to
remain unanswered. there is now and
then found a business man who does not
fulfill the duties Of correspondent. Such
Q one was the head of a large agency in
one Of our seaboard cities, who hal. in
front Of his desk, long row Of pigeon
holes. all Of them marked unanswered
letters. and all stuffed full.
"Why don't you answer those letters:'
visitor asked Of him one day.
''What would he the usc:' he an
swered. "Why, they would only 60 and
write To me again.'
Another man. a lawyer, was found by
caller one day sitting in front Of an open
gate. with lis elbows on his knees and his
chin on his hands, watching great heap
Of letters burning fiercely in the crate.
"Why. l thought your man said YOU
were very busy" said the caller.
Il am. said the lawyer.
"What are you busy aboutI'
Answering my correspondence" said
the lawyer, as he POINTED to the letters
burning in the CRATE.
II is worthy Of note that the agent who
feared that his correspondents would
write to him again if he answered their
letters lost his place, while the lawyer
had means Of earning an income other
than those attending TO the business de-
tails Of his profession. There is no slfer
rule that business man can follow than
this: "See that all your letters are

the once famous Julia Dean. died re-
Gently in Denver. Two weeks before her
death she had dream in which she saw
her approaching end. saw her body laid
In the coffin, and the scene impressed
itself so vividly upon her mind that she
observed the dress in which she was
clothed, the manner in which her hair
was arranged, and even the ornaments
in her collar. All efforts on the part Of
her friends 10 laugh away this unpleasant
memory were unavailing. She believed
that her hour was approaching. and at
the time she especially charged her
friends that when she died size wanted

self in the coffin. Her request was COM
piled with. and the corpse was dressed
for burial and every detail arranged as
she had particularly requested, even TO
